Barcelona striker Sandro Ramirez has been linked with a loan move to Newcastle United, according to reports in Spain.

The 19-year-old forward has been a part of Barca’s set-up since 2009, became a regular in the Barcelona B side in 2013 and since bagged more than a dozen goals in his half-century of games.

Spanish newspaper Marca reported that the Spain Under-21’s agent, Gines Carajal, has been in talks with the Magpies over a season-long loan deal.

Ramirez is, like Ayoze Perez, from the Canary Islands and after injury in Barca’s first team he was called up to the senior squad – he went on to score for the Catalan side in La Liga as well as the Champions League against Ajax.

He has found the back of the net 11 times in 39 appearances so far this season and while a loan spell would see him leave Spain, albeit on a temporary basis, it is believed the La Liga giants are keen for the teen striker to gain Premier League experience.
